IMPORTANT NOTICE: THIS SECTION CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.
18.2.1 Agreement to Arbitrate
Except as provided in Section 18.2.2, you and NEO agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Platform, Provider services obtained through the Platform, or your relationship with NEO (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding individual arbitration, rather than in court.
BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU AND NEO ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
18.2.2 Exceptions to Arbitration
The following Disputes are NOT subject to arbitration and may be brought in court:
- Claims that qualify for small claims court jurisdiction
- Claims for injunctive or equitable relief to protect intellectual property rights
- Claims related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use of the Platform
18.2.3 Arbitration Opt-Out
YOU MAY OPT OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. If you do not wish to resolve Disputes through arbitration, you may opt out within 30 days after you first agree to these Terms by sending an email to legal@joinneo.com with the subject line: “ARBITRATION OPT-OUT” that includes:
- Your full legal name
- The email address associated with your NEO account
- A clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration
Once NEO receives your valid Opt-Out Notice, this arbitration provision (Section 18.2) will not apply to you, and any Disputes will be resolved in court as set forth in Section 18.3. The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your opt-out.
If you do not opt out within 30 days, you will be bound by the arbitration agreement.
18.2.4 Informal Resolution Requirement
Before initiating arbitration, the party seeking arbitration must first send a written notice of the Dispute to the other party and allow 30 days for good faith attempts at informal resolution.
Notice to NEO must be sent by email to: legal@joinneo.com
Notice must include:
- Your name and contact information
- Description of the nature and basis of the claim or dispute
- The specific relief requested
If the Dispute is not resolved within 30 days after receipt of the notice, either party may initiate arbitration proceedings.
18.2.5 Arbitration Procedures
The arbitration will be administered by the Australian Disputes Centre (ADC) under its Arbitration Rules in effect at the time, or if ADC is unavailable, by another mutually agreed arbitration provider. The arbitrator, not any court, will have exclusive authority to resolve all Disputes, including disputes about the interpretation, scope, enforceability, revocability, or formation of this arbitration agreement.
The arbitration will be conducted in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, or at another location mutually agreed by the parties. For disputes involving AUD $25,000 or less, the arbitration may be conducted via telephone, video conference, or based solely on written submissions at your election.
18.2.6 Individual Basis Only – Class Action Waiver
YOU AND NEO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING.
The arbitrator may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. The arbitrator may not:
- Consolidate more than one person’s claims
- Preside over any form of class, collective, or representative proceeding
- Award relief to anyone other than the individual party seeking relief
If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable for any reason, then the entire arbitration agreement in Section 18.2 shall be null and void.
18.2.7 Costs and Fees
Each party will pay its own attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator awards fees to the prevailing party as permitted by applicable law, or unless applicable law requires otherwise. NEO will pay arbitration filing fees to the extent required by the arbitration provider’s rules.
18.2.8 Survival
This arbitration and class action waiver provision will survive any termination of your account, these Terms, or the Platform.
18.2.9 Enforceability
If any portion of this Section 18.2 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, the remainder of this Section 18.2 shall continue in full force and effect to the maximum extent permitted by law, except that if the class action waiver in Section 18.2.6 is found unenforceable, the entire arbitration agreement shall be void.
18.3 Jurisdiction for Non-Arbitrated Claims
For any Disputes not subject to arbitration (either because you opted out, the Dispute falls under an exception in Section 18.2.2, or the arbitration agreement is found unenforceable), you agree that such Disputes must be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, and you hereby submit to the personal jurisdiction of those courts for the purpose of litigating such claims. You hereby waive any and all jurisdictional and venue defenses otherwise available.
18.4 Time Limitation on Claims
You agree that any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Platform or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or be forever barred.
